Makati Garden Club shop

November 28, 2014

Do not let this old sign fool you.

Within the gates of the Makati Garden Club is a beautiful patch of greenery – garden, pond, flowers, trees. It’s hard to imagine that this sits right on the corner of EDSA and Ayala Avenue. In the many years I’ve been living in Manila, I never knew this piece of paradise existed.

The Makati Garden Club is a private club that caters to a few (of mostly) women members who share the love for plants and landscaping. Members get discounts on plants.

This past year, the former quiet little cafe at Makati Garden Club got a makeover and became one of Manila’s best secret restaurants. Read about it here.

A great surprise is a little shop in the garden called Melograno. This one’s open to the public.

The tiny workshop is filled with fashion, furniture, art and accessories curated by Mrs Ruby Roa.
